    Yet another newbie.

    Hi all,

    I am also a newbie. I live in White Hall Maryland and have been meditating semi-regularly for 6 years. Like Michael, I have had a bit of instruction in Tibetan Buddhism (and even managed to complete a million mantras last year) but I must admit I find the Soto Zen approach more skillful for me.

    I look forward to joining you on this journey.

    Warm wishes,
    Linda

                Look within and be still; free from fear and grasping
                Know the sweet joy of living in the way.
